Removable Bed Cleats

Does anyone leave their bed cleats installed all the time?
Are these an easy theft item, or is not really an issue?

 

It's easy to steal. Mine are off and stored under the seats.

Mine come off as well and they are stored under the seats. Really doesn't take too long ... better safe than sorry!

 

Leave mine in, never think about them

 

I have left mine in for 2 years... never an issue for me

 

Have had mine on for 4 months, Had the ones on my Tundra for 7 years before that. Never even considered that someone might steal them.

Y'all must live in crappy places. Just kidding. Kind of.

 

Only Tacoma/Tundra owners would recognize their value. And you know how seedy that crowd is.

I have one mounted in the center of the front rail for bike tie downs. But I have a tonneau that keeps things at least out of walk by viewing, unless of course I'm toting stuff around.

 

if they got stolen I would know that the people in my apartment complex took them. then I would go around and find which person took my stuff and then take it back what I lost

 

I would also deliver a tittie-twister so they know im serious, fuck yahh

 

Between the shovel ,flashlight, fire extinguisher, ax, first aid kit, vodoo cargo basket, and hi lift. i don't have any room for the tie down cleats, except two.

 

Just had one stolen in St.Louis 2 days ago. Only had it 3 weeks.

 

Never took them off of my gen 2 when the bed was open, and never had an issue.

 

Never. I don't trust people a bit. I bought a $3 3-pack of nylon camping bags. One for my cleats (6), one for my ratchets, one for my bed net/spiderweb.

 

Camper top. Solved!

 

Still waiting for the truck? Why the delay?

 

Tri-fold tonneau cover and "Pop-N-Lock" actuator wired on tail gate solves this issue unless they use a pry bar!hth
